The piece in short

This Qom comes from Iran and measures 200 × 137 cm. It covers approximately 2.74 m², or 6.6' × 4.5'. Qom is known for very finely knotted rugs, often in silk.

Materials and construction

Stated material: silk, silk warp.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 1,000,000+ knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as black and grey. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
